Socialism and Communism Get a Free Pass

Why do socialism and communism get a free pass on atrocities when Nazism doesn’t?

Walter Williams takes a stab:

Here’s my question: Why are the horrors of Nazism so well-known and widely condemned but not those of socialism and communism? What goes untaught — and possibly is covered up — is that socialist and communist ideas have produced the greatest evil in mankind’s history. You say, “Williams, what in the world are you talking about? Socialists, communists and their fellow travelers, such as the Wall Street occupiers supported by our president, care about the little guy in his struggle for a fair shake! They’re trying to promote social justice.” Let’s look at some of the history of socialism and communism.

I think it’s because the Left has convinced the public that Nazis were on the political Right.
